Hi! Just to let you know a bit about me and how I got to where I am now. I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan, where I acquired my love of animals, nature and respect for life. I am married, have two amazing grown kids, and three beautiful grandchildren.

In 2002, I was in a place in my life where I was kind of bored, lost, needed something to focus on. My kids were grown and my job didn’t fulfill my inner spirit nor my need to experience new and different challenges and interests.

I decided to train and run in my first full marathon in Flanders, Belgium in 2003. I wonder, now, why it took me so long to get to where I am now, but as they say, ‘ Things happen for a reason, and the time will be right when you are ready.’ I went on to do three more, plus many 1/2 marathons, but the important thing for me was what I learned about myself along the way. I realized that I could do anything I set my mind to. If there was something challenging ahead, I knew I could complete it!

I’ve been extremely privileged to travel to some amazing places like China, Jamaica, Peru, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Spain, Galapagos Islands and England, mostly on my own or with my husband and friends. It took until recently, that I realized where this passion was going to take me. I had to fulfill this need to take the step, quit my job, and follow that passion and TreadOn Travel was born!!

I want to show you that you can ‘ DO THE THINGS YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO! ‘ Yes, you CAN!!!

We do have a training program for walking if it is needed. If you are interested in joining us, just contact me. It's not too difficult, we have a lot of fun and add a few miles per week until we are ready for our trip!
